Check if memory has been freed by looking at its contents does not work 100% of the time. If any of these functions are called with an invalid object, then the correct fix is to determine why the function was called and prevent it from being called.

 @signaldef image-deleting

char *(*image_deleting)(const PurpleStoredImage *img);
  @endsignalproto
  @signaldesc
   Emitted when a #PurpleStoredImage is about to be destroyed.  This allows
   for what amounts to weak references.  Code can hold onto a pointer to
   the PurpleStoredImage without actually "holding" a reference.  They can
   then use a signal handler to let them know when their img is about to
   be destroyed.
  @param img The image about to be destroyed.
  @note It's not possible to purple_imgstore_ref() img to save it.
